Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the BR 27148-023 gear spur used for?
A: The BR 27148-023 is a spur gear used in the drive train of electric lift trucks to transmit motor power to the hydraulic pump or lift mechanism. Spur gears mesh teeth directly to transfer rotational force with minimal slippage.
Q: Which lift truck models are compatible with the BR 27148-023 spur gear?
A: The BR 27148-023 is designed for Barrett electric pallet jacks and related lift equipment using this gear specification. Verify your equipment model documentation to confirm this gear matches your drive system before ordering.
Q: What materials are used in the BR 27148-023 spur gear?
A: Spur gears in material handling equipment are typically made from cast iron or steel to withstand continuous load cycling and torque transmission. The BR 27148-023 is constructed to handle the repeated stress of daily lift truck operation.
Q: What indicates a spur gear needs replacement?
A: Replace the BR 27148-023 if you observe grinding or whining noises during lift operation, loss of lifting power, grinding or metal shavings in hydraulic fluid, or visible tooth damage or chipping on the gear. Continued operation with a damaged gear will destroy the mating gear.
Q: How long does a spur gear typically last?
A: A well-maintained spur gear lasts thousands of operational hours. Failure is accelerated by high loads, contaminated hydraulic fluid, improper lubrication, or misalignment. Regular fluid maintenance and prompt repair of worn components extends gear life.
